Despite a few setbacks and issues, Palworld has thrived and continues to find success. Its developer, Pocketpair, has continually grown the game, and it remains a relevant title in the monster-capturing genre even a year after its release. Such an achievement is only possible due to the number of people who continue to support and enjoy the game, and the developer plans on thanking those players by meeting one of the expectations for Palworld that they have held for some time.
To celebrate Palworld's first anniversary, Pocketpair held a global popularity poll that allowed players all over the world to vote for their favorite characters. The highest three spots were filled with human characters, with faction leader Zoe Rayne finding herself on top. With Zoe receiving the honor of being the most popular character among players, Pocketpair has decided that a future update will see her become a recruitable ally. The news definitely has fans excited, as being able to ally with one of the faction leaders is a feature that has been anticipated for a long time. Now, that feature is confirmed to be arriving in a future update, and there's a lot of speculation about how Pocketpair will implement it.
Palworld: How to Turn On Crossplay (& Turn It Off)
Crossplay has been added to Palworld with its recent update, and here is how to enable it on all platforms.
What Players Can Expect From Making Zoe Rayne a Recruitable Character in Palworld
Aside from being the leader of one of the more dangerous factions within the islands of Palworld, Zoe Rayne is set to become a valuable ally that many players will likely want to partner with as soon as it is possible to do so. With no confirmed date for the release of the feature, players have been speculating about what teaming up with Zoe could entail, and there are a few noteworthy ideas:
- There could be dialogue that will help players learn more about Zoe and her personality, allowing her to become an actual character within the game, rather than just a boss.
- Players could gain the ability to call Zoe to deal with the other tower bosses in Palworld, allowing for an extra hand that could make the battles easier.
- Recruiting Zoe could turn members of the Rayne Syndicate from hostile to friendly, giving players more allies that could deal with rogue Pals and turning areas dominated by them into safe zones.
Although these ideas are speculative, they could serve to freshen up the gameplay experience. But in the end, the specific implementation of the feature is up to Pocketpair, and, hopefully, the developer handles Zoe's recruitment in a way that fans will find satisfying.
Making Zoe a Recruitable Character Could Be the Start of Something Big for Palworld
While being able to recruit a tower boss provides a lot of entertainment and combat value, the feature has the potential to be more than just that. The ability to turn Zoe Rayne into an ally could be the starting point for an eventual story mode. The game may need to justify why players can recruit her, and Pocketpair could implement a plot that does just that. That plot wouldn't even have to stop with the Rayne Syndicate and its leader, as it could expand to involve all the other factions, allowing for character conversations, dilemmas, and conflicts that have been sorely missing from the game. There is a ton of potential that comes with the idea, and Zoe could be the start of turning it into a reality.
If there's any reason for people to revisit Palworld or continue playing, it's being able to recruit Zoe Rayne as an ally, which will definitely happen in a future update. Hopefully, the feature is added sooner rather than later, as fans are highly anticipating its arrival, and it being added brings a lot of benefits to the game.
